Adrian Emailed back that he didn't have time to make the radial engines. Just what I thought had happened. He said he would try to get them done next week. So I figure that delivery from Canada will put them out three to four weeks. Have you put the cowl together yet? I've been looking at the SPE 26 as an engine for this one. With an 18 X 6 carbon prop it should have around 14 to 15 lbs of thrust and still be light. The engine comes in at 36 oz with ignition and muffler! In my other Gee Bee I had to add about 4 oz to the nose using a Super Tigre 2300 with a Bisson muffler. 2300 with stock muffler is 38 oz. I like gas over glow. Less mess on a good paint job. Longer flite time on less fuel and I plan on flying the HECK out of this one.
